They are not quite correct. I have MAKEFLAGS set to "kj3". This accords with the documentation in the make info page, which e.g. gives the example "if you do `make -ks', then `MAKEFLAGS' gets the value `ks'." However, with this setting of MAKEFLAGS, 'make-kpkg kernel_image' gives a segfault(!) and the actual cause is extremely hard to discern. (I had to read through make-kpkg's source.) The manual also has a paragraph describing the exact rules make uses for parsing MAKEFLAGS, which begins "When `make' interprets the value of `MAKEFLAGS'"; I don't have copy/paste capability right now so I'll let you find it yourself with that clue... Contrariwise, the manual also mentions that GNU make does not respect the MFLAGS variable -- it sets it for compatibility, but if you set it yourself it will ignore you. So make-kpkg's check for MFLAGS is probably pointless. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.11frances2 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages kernel-package depends on: ii dpkg 1.13.11.1 package maintenance system for Deb ii dpkg-dev 1.13.11.1 package building tools for Debian ii file 4.15-2 Determines file type using "magic" ii gcc [c-compiler] 4:4.0.2-2 The GNU C compiler ii gcc-2.95 [c-compiler] 1:2.95.4-24 The GNU C compiler ii gcc-3.2 [c-compiler] 1:3.2.3-9 The GNU C compiler ii gcc-3.3 [c-compiler] 1:3.3.6-12 The GNU C compiler ii gcc-3.4 [c-compiler] 3.4.5-2 The GNU C compiler ii gcc-4.0 [c-compiler] 4.0.2-7 The GNU C compiler ii gettext 0.14.5-2 GNU Internationalization utilities ii make 3.80+3.81.b4-1 The GNU version of the "make" util ii perl 5.8.7-10 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii po-debconf 0.9.2 manage translated Debconf template Versions of packages kernel-package recommends: ii bzip2 1.0.3-2 high-quality block-sorting file co ii libc6-dev [libc-dev] 2.3.5-12 GNU C Library: Development Librari -- no debconf information
